But if you happen to be visiting TRLEOOB** and you hear a Shiputzim daughter screech hysterically, “Abba! There’s a lizard in the playroom!” – chances are, the lizard in question will turn out to be a gecko…

*I apologize for the grainy shot, but that’s what comes from having a blog with anAWOLChief of Photography… ;-)

Leora - No need to apologize for liking lizards.A certain longtime Our Shiputzim reader told me that after four (4!) lizard posts, my claims of NOT being a lizard fan are no longer credible... :-)

Ariella - Geckos have attained some popularityWho knew that we had a celebrity crawling around our playroom? :-)

Toby - I like to think that they'll eat the mosquitoes.So YZG (aka "Mr. S.") has tried to convince me. He also insists that they eat The-Creatures-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (but are spelled j-u-k-i-m)... :-)

Yaffa - YZG says that he'll be glad to give you some gecko-catching pointers at the bat mitzvah next week IY"H... :-)

Our Shiputzim

I started this blog as a way to document our home renovations, but B"H the work is basically finished. And so, this has developed into a typical slice-of-life blog - you know, the kind of blog that talks about our kids, food, and our lives here in Israel - albeit with an irrelevant and misleading name.
